4th of July

In our huge extended family, the 4th of July is the best holiday ever. We load up the lobster boats with kids and dogs and food and head out to a nearby island for a lobster bake. Though it can be blistering hot during the day, it is always cold heading home across the bay. I made this hat up years ago, and one year made 9 during the day....slightly obsessed.

Let it be said I have no wits for commerce...I just give things away. My most miserable times as a Girl Scout were the Cookie Drives... So here you have it, the 4th of July Hat all mixed up in this post I'm afraid.

Adorable! The models look like they're enjoying them quite a bit too.I think you should have a contest to see who can make the most hats by the time the fireworks start. You could give the winner a....ummm....a hat!

I muffed up the pattern when I transcribed it in the wee hours, and hastily published it. Yikes! Rnd 30 was wrong, but happily, it is corrected now...until you find another mistake...I tell ya....poor Miss Fuzzy Brain should not post past her bedtime.

I love your 4th of july hat and would very much appreciate if you would email the pdf. A friend just had a baby on the 4th of July and I would like to try to do a baby one..... jwilson at ces-msa dot org

Hey anon, I've got a version written in words that I can send you. Briefly, the last stitch, the lone tower to the left is knit together with the "step" on it's same level in the color of the "tower" stitch.
